The test or "probe" of the title refers to the way the unflinching eye of the television camera and its electronic ear uncover truth. Thatţs the subject of the film, but does the film itself pass the test? It might be said that the entire history of cinema consists of those moments in which its practitioners manage to make a successful probe; everything else can be forgotten.

Mike Test is structured in a novel fashion, using the devices of television and film interchangeably to tell the story and to reveal character. With this film, writer-director Mircea Daneliuc emerges as a major talent. He also plays the leading role, that of a TV cameraman on a human interest feature reporting team, who becomes involved with a girl that is trying to avoid interviews. As Daneliuc has said of his film, "When a man sees the microphone pointed at him, he has the choice—and he makes it spontaneously, unconsciously or deliberately—of being sincere in what he says, or not ... our film is about a test of this kind (moral, not technical) that aims at both partners: the one who asks questions and the one who answers them."
